Cadiz
Cadeeze nuts, jk it’s pronounced “Ca-deith”.
Trip
to Cadiz was full day stop number one on the Windstar cruise, and it was the
first major departure for me from pursuing a ratchet or relaxing time. This
portion was more educational, and damn I learnted some things and
stuff.
Cadiz is one of the oldest cities in Spain, it has been
attacked by foreign countries more times than Britney in the tabloids, and is
full of influences in culture as far reaching as South America. Much of its
history is preserved in the architecture, and this city is an example of how
humanity can cram buildings into a tiny area to the point that it impacts
population growth; literally there is no room left to have people come in.
Makes for a cool place to walk about though 🤷. Everywhere you look
there is history to be seen, all of which is aggressively preserved by the
city. I was really impressed by the system they have in place for tourists, as
the streets have colored lines for you to follow paths that will take you
around whatever flavor of tour you’d like. Want to see medieval paths? Follow
green. Spanish architecture? take blue. Seaside promenade more your
speed? Wander the yellow path. Wanna watch a losing football team? Go Browns
LOL.

Against my norms, I
took a tour through a church.....Cathedral de Cadiz, a stunning church that took over a hundred years to build and was easily one of the most beautiful centerpieces to the city. However, it was not well received to play
Beyoncé in the crypt! Sure, its holding their centuries old dead peeps, but like, you’re
welcome for bringing you life ,dead people. (spinning around to 7/11 was necessary for my own religious
experience). My tour guide took me around the area to point out all the cool buildings and facts, most of which went in one ear and out the other but were v informative. She was awesome, I am just not comprehending

I chilled out looking at plants in Jose Celestino Mutiss Park. blasting my obnoxious Russian rap music to ensure I was not mistaken for an American twat. It didn’t appear that there was much of a gay scene to explore, and after walking 11 miles, I was ready to hit the gym and get back on the boat for some relaxing time. All the while, I snapped photos left and right. Seriousness there was no end to the pretty buildings.
The boat left a good two hours after I got on the ship, and I can’t help but desire more time in Cadiz. I love a city that can be walked so easily, since it takes maybe 15 min to cross from one side of the peninsula to the other. Every alleyway has its own charm and history I loved walking around them all until i couldn't walk anymore.
